Abstract
Method, apparatus, and computer program product embodiments are disclosed to for efficient radio spectrum use, and more particularly to the resolution of resource allocation conflicts in RF white spaces. An example embodiment includes a method including calculating by a network controller, a resource allocation proposal for a wireless network; transmitting by the network controller, a message including the calculated resource allocation proposal, to one or more other network controllers; and implementing the resource allocation proposal, if the network controller does not receive other resource allocation proposals for the wireless network from the one or more other network controllers, in response to the transmitted message.
